About nCompass Technologies

Identifying performance bottlenecks and strategizing ways to solve them takes 4-8x longer than actually writing the code to fix them. We're building an agent that is an expert at analyzing the performance GPU systems like inference engines at all levels of the stack - from CPU-GPU interactions down to GPU kernels. Pairing our agent with Cursor / Claude Code allows you to automate both the reasoning and code implementation steps of performance optimization. What used to take weeks can now be done in days. Along with our AI agent, we have features such as running diffs on system traces as well as sharing and collaboration features that make our VSCode extension the most powerful way to work on performance optimization.
